Holiday home for max. 4 persons
Lessay, Normandy, (Côte des Isles), France

Four original natural stone farmhouses recently (2009) converted into romantic holiday cottages, on an 18th-century country estate, with an animal park and a playing lawn, right by a stream and a pond with water lilies

This country state about 300 years old is nestled into the lush landscape of Normandy on the Cotentin peninsula in the north-west of Normandy. The area is characterised by swamps, extensive heaths and wild coasts with white sandy beaches. It is a paradise for a nature and beach holiday with a child and dog.

The farm consists of the imposing former main farmhouse and two natural stone barns, which have been converted into four modern holiday houses. Attention was paid to preserving traditional elements and combining them stylishly with modern comfort. The stone floors and the wooden ceiling beams tell the story of past times. The owner also lives on the farm.

The 35,000 km² carefully tended site borders a stream and a picturesque pond with water lilies. The interior courtyard has a grill area and plenty of garden furniture. You can enjoy leisurely meals outdoors here. Children will enjoy the fenced animal park and the generous playing lawn with a swing and a trampoline, while adults can withdraw to a sun lounger in one of the orchards with a good book. A car is recommended during your stay and there are secure parking spaces right in front of the house.

Although the owner in the main house is always mindful of your privacy, he is happy to assist with any queries. Your dog is welcome at a small supplementary charge.

The country estate is about 10km from the St. German, Pirou and Lindbergh Plage sandy beaches, about 10-15 minutes by car. It is about 3km to the centre of the little town of Lessay with a range of shops, colourful markets and good gastronomy.

House in Vesly with Common Pool

This cosy cottage is set somewhat apart from the other buildings on the country estate and therefore enjoys ample privacy. The 90m² of living space is spread over two floors, comprising a living and dining room flooded with daylight and with an integrated, open kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The living room on the ground floor has a comfortable sofa and two matching armchairs, a wooden coffee table, a digital TV with satellite channels and a USB port, a DVD player, a stereo system and a dining table with four chairs. A cast-iron fireplace stove exudes a sense of well-being and pleasant warmth on cooler evenings. The modern built-in kitchen in a rustic country style has a dishwasher, a four-zone gas stove with a cooker hood, an oven, a fridge with a freezer compartment, a microwave, a kettle, toaster, coffee machine and washing machine. Wide stairs lead to the upper floor with the bedrooms, of which one has a double bed (140 x 200cm) and the other has two single beds (90 x 200cm) that can also be joined together as a double bed. The bathroom has a big corner bath with a shower attachment, two washbasins with a wall mirror and a toilet. Chidlren’s beds can also be provided on request. A highchair is available and plenty of bed linen is provided. The reliable Internet connection in the cottage can be used free of charge.

The living room opens onto the private interior courtyard with a grill, a dining table with chairs and a children’s playground with a swing. To the rear of the cottage you go over the stream to the rest of the country estate with the orchards, the main interior courtyard, another playground and the pond with water lilies.
